Uncrustables + Gushers + Capri Sun=Classic US School Lunch. Does not include kimbap, kathi rolls, and more...
If you went to school in the US, you probably know the typical school lunch: An iconic white-bread sandwich with deli meats, some classic nugs or mozz sticks, a slice of pizza, an Uncrustables, and even the ol' Lunchables — all, of course, accompanied by some snack and a drink .However, for those of us with immigrant parents, school lunches could include a range of our cultural cuisines, much to the"curiosity" of our classmates at times.
What is your cultural background? How old were you, and how did it impact you and your identity? Did you tell your family? Lastly, what do you think of that same food — and eating it with friends or colleagues — now? In elementary school, I had those circular, stackable bento-like lunchboxes — courtesy of my Korean mom — which, in and of themselves, attracted attention. By high school, I bought lunch for the most part. But on the occasion that I brought in Korean food, I generally attempted to brush off any comments. Objectively, Korean food, like kimchi, smells differently than a slice of pizza or ham sandwich, so I'd simply acknowledge that it had a smell, and fortunately, that generally ended things.
Now, as we begin more conversations around these topics, more of us have begun to reflect on how these experiences impacted us and even what we pack our own children for lunch.Whatever your story, I want to know about it. Share in the comments below!
